The Singapore Air Force Museum serves as the primary institution for preserving the heritage and technological evolution of the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF). The museum features an extensive outdoor gallery showcasing retired fighter jets, helicopters, and surface-to-air missile systems. Indoor exhibits utilize interactive displays and historical artifacts to chronicle the transition from the Singapore Air Defence Command to the modern RSAF. Visitors can explore the technical components of various aircraft types previously operated by the Singaporean military. The museum is located in the vicinity of Paya Lebar Airbase, a key hub in the history of local aviation. Static displays include iconic platforms like the Hawker Hunter and the A-4SU Super Skyhawk. It provides an educational overview of air defense strategies, operations, and the human side of service within the air force.
The outdoor gallery offers wide-angle perspectives of the fighter jets against the backdrop of the museum's architecture.
